Cheers for your help. Am going to build it myself.

To walk on it's solid and flat no lumps or bumps, it doesn't kick up while walking and even digging my heel in it doesn't kick up so it's pretty well down.

Yeah it's just a wooden garden room. Was going to use a timber frame for the base and insulate that. I was thinking of laying high density blocks on bed of mortar. But I was concerned about movement of the type 1. Had a look at the base yesterday and to get the concrete base where I need it...

Ground screws was my original idea, and wished I'd stuck to it. I don't even know why I agreed to have it done, I just wasn't thinking about. I'm not 100% sure what they filled the ditch in with underneath the type 1, if they've just used hardcore it'll bugger up the ground screws installation

The average American is thick though, that's the problem

This is a very good question. ITs roughly 4-6 inches. I'll need to double check it. They filled the ditch with a mix of soil and rubble compacted it, then put the type 1 down and compacted that

Your right, I meant fuel consumption but was also thinking about oil consumption so wrote oil consumption. Sorry about that. It's definitely not to do with oil consumption, Ive amended my post for accuracy.

Gonna bump this up

Thin oils are specced by the oem to reduce fuel consumption. Either 5w30 or 5w20 in the correct acea spec will be fine, the specs you mentioned are covered by in both grades by various manufacturers, but best to get a bottle of oil the same as what the engine was filled with at service. But as...

It's a pure tech engine. Originally PSA (now stellantis) advised 5w20, they changed this to be 0w30, but most recently in 2024 changes it to 5w30. You need stellantis oil spec FPW9.55535/03 To protect the wet belt. These engines are both good and awful at the same time. The oil holes in the...

I've taken over a bit of land that was once a farm ditch at the end of my garden, it's all above board paid the farmer the money, and he has sold the fields to a developer, and the developer has created a new system for ground water run off. My neighbour has done the same and had a container...

Should be fine to tile straight over

I'd use silicone on the tile corners. The wall where the window is, if your painting it, then tanking it won't work

Was hoping not to use an oil

Hi, I've made a table.to sit on our decking out of pine, it sits under a sheltered pergola with UV roof sheeting, I could probably get away with using an interior wax, but I'm concerned of it going mouldy should it get wet (rain can enter through the sides of the pergola when it's driving rain...
